Absolutely awesome!

I love the detailed timeline, I do have a remark about its displacement.
You state that the full load over the empty tonnage is only 4500 tonnes, but I figured that should be much, much more (aircraft, aviation fuel, weapons etc).

A close real life comparison could be made with the Forrestal class: It's empty weight is 60,000 tonnes empty, with a full load mass of 81,000.
I feel your full load should somewhat reach this number.

Also, what type of missiles will be carrier in its Mk41?

Great as always!

Beautiful carrier, I've been looking forward to seeing her completed for some time, and you've delivered and then some!

Oh my, that is stunning!

Thanks for your positive feedback, i have altered the stuff that missed or was faulty!

And thanks for the rest for their response. Makes me happy!
